Look, I know that turning 11 is not a big deal. It’s not like turning 10. Ten is important. Eleven is just another year. I know that.
But you’d think I’d at least get a birthday treat! You’d think there’d be a little present or something. Maybe a special meal.
At least a birthday tummy tickle!
Did I get any of that? No I did not! I wasn’t even home for my birthday! I was shuttled off to camp and no one cared it was my birthday at all!
So I’ve been protesting. Loudly and often. I think mama gets it now and maybe she’s a tiny bit contrite. But I bark to wake her up every day anyway, just to be sure she doesn’t forget.
I haven’t been on any walks or to any parks or on any adventures since they got home either. I told mama last night that she better come up with a fun trip for me pretty soon or I was going to go on permanent strike. No more pictures until we do something fun.
I’m not kidding.
PS: Merry Christmas to all of you. I’m sure she’ll shape up before the holidays.

Awww Katie, I’m sorry you’re feeling ignored and abused, but sometimes mamas have things they have to do without you, and you need to know it always makes mamas sad to leave you. I heard your mama has been sick since she got home, but I’m sure she’ll take you on more adventures as soon as she feels better.

Poor Katie … I’m so sorry, Princess, but your mama has been under the weather with that nasty cold and probably doesn’t feel much like doing anything. She’ll make it up to you — count on it (right, Dawn?!!)

Katie, you are good at expressing your thoughts. I hope your mama shapes up soon and you enjoy some good rooms outside. And I hope she makes up for leaving you at camp with some good Christmas treats. Merry Christmas to you and your mama.

Aw Katie, sorry we missed your birthday. 11 is a very big deal and I’m sure your mama spoiled you pretty good despite your drama. You do a very good job at keeping her on her toes. We hope you had a wonderful birthday week!
